Players such as Moore, Albright, Lissemore and even Ernie Sims may need to be signed for next season and beyond, particularly if Dallas reaches the post season phase. These men are playing their tails off and making plays. What these guys have instilled is afighting spirit and a desire to hit and make plays. Moore contributed heavily to taking the very dangerous Heath Miller away from Ben Hamberger in the second stanza last week. He can do the same to Graham this week.

Defensive end Jason Hatcher has become one of the Cowboys’ best players. Good thing. Because he’s one of the funniest interviews in the locker room, too. The seven-year pro out of Grambling, sixth in the team in tackles and second in quarterback pressures, had his group of reporters chuckling in...

DEz is one of the best players in the league. No doubt about it. Playing this game at Home like against PitifulOldBurgh has to be a big advantage. For one St George are nowhere near the same team on the road. Two St George do not like to tackle and have little to play for. Three Brees is much smaller than Ben Hamberger and less mobile. Four Brees is prone to multiple turnovers and the Dallas defence has been winning the turnover battle of late. Five St George do not really have a head coach and are just waiting to have the season end. Witten will get his pass catching record in this game and guys like Bryant, Murray and Harris will all have big games.

Dez Bryant has been on a roll the past six games and thus so have the Cowboys. Dallas is 5-1 in its past six, with Bryant catching 37 passes for 584 yards and eight touchdowns. Bryant has been one of the league's top receivers in that span, having come a long way from earlier in the season when ...

If and when he sets the single-season record for catches by a tight end, Jason Witten will think about Bill Parcells. What in the world would he say about that? “Oh, man. I don’t know,” Witten said with a laugh Thursday at Valley Ranch. Everyone shared a laugh with the veteran tight end, who re...

Albright, Moore, Coe, Harris, Beasley, Sims, Lissemore, these types of no names are exactly what the team needed. Because they are discarded footballers HUNGRY to get a shot, HUNGRY to succeed, and mixed with the team's emotion after the Brent/Brown situation, this has turned out to be a powerful cocktail, an explosion of passion and desire. Two things Garrett & Callahan are short of and could never provide. The wave has built considerably since defeating Pittsburgh who incidenatlly had virtually a FULL POWERED TEAM sans a CB and Mendenhall. Pittsburgh was a true test because of QB Ben Hamberger and the weapons he has around him. St George are very beatable especially on the road. St George do not like tackling and have nothing to play for plus they had a big easy win last start. Playing @ St George would have been a serious problem but they are nowhere near as good on the road.

The Cowboys have four defensive starters on injured reserve, and nickel back Orlando Scandrick also has joined inside linebacker Bruce Carter, inside linebacker Sean Lee, safety Barry Church, defensive lineman Kenyon Coleman on the season-ending injury list. On Sunday, Dallas also played without...

Dallas urgently needs to make Alex Albright a serious offer. The dude is 6-5 260 lbs i.e BIG and MOBILE. The man is seemingly always around the ball and the action. He LOOKS PHYSICALLY IMPOSING on the field. I am certain that opposing QBs take several looks at Albright because he stands so tall and imposing. Both Albright & Sterling Moore have made a HUGE difference to this decimated defence. These two hace essentially countered the losses of many of the starters. One thing is certain: without these types of repalcement players the season would have ended weeks ago!!!

Linebacker DeMarcus Ware said he was excited to see linebacker Anthony Spencer join him in double figures for sacks this season. By collecting 1.5 sacks against Pittsburgh, Spencer has 10 for the season -- a career high. Ware has 11.5. “I talk to him every year (about that). It’s our goal,” Ware ...

I feel we will defeat St George next week. St George are a far worse team on the road and dallas has come too far to let the tension go now. Playing with tension and spirit stemming from the death of LB Brown. Brown has indirectly contributed to a football team: his unfortunate passing has turned most of these players into gritty no quit football players with determination. Something that garrett failed to instill in them. Spencer Lissemore Hatcher Carr et al and dare I say it, even M. Spears, are now transformed and determined. The spirit of Brown is embedded within them and they are paying for their fallen comrade.

The Giants loss to the Falcons on Sunday was the help the Cowboys needed. They control their playoff destiny -- as do the Redskins and the Giants. Dallas will win the NFC East with victories in their final two games -- vs. the Saints and at the Redskins. However, the Cowboys will not be eliminat...

Albright, Lissemore, Moore, Connor... et al... A bunch of renegade no names. Playing with fire and guts. Lissemore and Albright need to be encouraged and developed into starters. These two look likely customers to me. These types of no name players can turn this place into a real no nonsense FOOTBALL TEAM.

Cowboys linebackers Alex Albright and Brady Poppinga made their first starts of the season, with Dallas opening with five linebackers on the field. Albright finished with five tackles. Poppinga had one. Albright also had an apparent fumble recovery overturned on replay review during the first qu...

Playing on spirit & passion. This has come unfortunately from the death of LB Brown. What Garrett failed to provide has instead come from the fallen practice squad player. I stated before the game that we would triumph. Look at Lissemore [who?] Albright [who?] Connor Carr and now Moore a Belichick cast off. These players are HAVING A GO and look at the difference. Make no mistake PitifulOldBurgh put EVERYTHING THEY HAD into winning this gamer and were denied. Thought they had it won. But they were denied by brilliant play by Romo and some desperation defence at the end. At last I believe we have a REAL FOOTBALL TEAM!!!

Cowboys quarterback Tono Romo threw for 341 yards, the most allowed this season by a Steelers’ defense that entered the game ranked No. 1 in the NFL. The previous high had been 290 yards by Tennessee’s Matt Hasselbeck. Romo topped the 300-yard mark for the eight time this season during Sunday's ...

Motto for this WINNABLE ball game: Get on the paddock and play hard. Otherwise stay home. You are fortunate to be palying this one at Home, believe me. Going to PitifulOldBurgh in the snow and cold would have spelt doom for sure. Not so this game. it is WINNABLE at Home!!! So Claiborne et al... get out and PLAY!!!

Dez believe me .. You will be fine!!! Man its only a finger, not wrist or arm!!! Strap it up with a cast and pad it together with the adloining finger. Catch balls mainly using your GOOD i.e RIGHT hand!!! Catch balls right handed in practice and during the game against PitifulOldBurgh and TUCK THE BALL IMMEDITELY INTO YOUR CHEST... THEN RUN. Dez... YOU WILL BE OK... NO PROBLEM!!!

Receiver Dez Bryant said he would have had surgery this week if the Cowboys had been eliminated from the playoff race. “The position that we are in is what makes me want to be out there,” Bryant said Friday. “If there was anything less than what we’ve got a chance of, I would have went ahead a...

Look Dez will be fine. I suffered a fractured wrist and it stuck up in the air until it was rectified with plaster and a cast. Stayed on until the fractured area starts to itch & heal a process that takes about 6 weeks. But a wrist is unlike a finger. The finger will hurt BUT you can still move your hand and still use the other fingers. Not so if you crack the wrist. Moreover I still years later cannot fully use my wrist but it has never impeded me in sports or study i.e writing. Thus Dez will be fine... he will recover from a simple fractured finger!!!

Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said the team would not do anything to compromise Dez Bryant’s career, although his broken finger may never be the same. “It’ll be a challenge with the flexibility of the finger, probably, for the rest of his life,” Jones said Friday morning on 105.3 FM “The ...

A major difference is this: Dallas is at home and NOT playing in a dismal cold climate i.e Pittsburgh. No stiffening of the joints and no freezing of dislocated and broken joints i.e Ware & Dez. That means the game is very winnable. Very winnable given that Pittsburgh's form is very ordianry and that their team is really an ageing slow one outside of Barrie Wallace and Sanders.

The Cowboys face a challenge this week, and not just with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Coach Jason Garrett said his team was emotionally spent after the weekend, beating the Bengals a day after a single-car wreck left practice squad linebacker Jerry Brown dead and nose tackle Josh Brent arrested on ...

Scratch, Claw, Fight... These words are resonating heavily with guys like Albright, Sims, Carr, Hatcher, Spencer, Sensabaugh and Co. refuse to quit refuse to perish. That is their creed. Playing Pittsburgh at home this time has to be a big advantage given Dez's finger soreness and the fatigue of the players. Playing in the cold & snow would have bled the enthusiasm and effort for certain. Nothing like Home Sweet Home when you need a big win!!!

The Cowboys are starting to get a sense of humor about all the injuries they’ve had. “We were joking earlier this week,” quarterback Tony Romo said Thursday. “We needed nametags out at practice, just because new guys keep coming in.” The injuries were a topic of conversation at Romo’s weekly mee...

Playing at home has thus far been very ordinary. But I really believe that in this game playing at home is a huge advantage. For one no long plane ride and hotels when players are a little down mentally and also tired. Second, it helps greatly the recovery of injuries. Third, playing in Pittsburgh amidst the cold and drizzle or even snow would have seriously affected guys like Dez whose finger would swell and throb much more than playing in Dallas. It would be that much harder palying at Pittsburgh. If the state of mind is in the right place and if Dez is ok on the field I feel Dallas can definetly defeat an ageing Pittsburgh who really rely extensively on Ben hamberger, Wallace and Miller. Nullify their impact and Pittsburgh is pretty barren.

Left guard Nate Livings has learned at least one thing in his year with the Cowboys. When Tony Romo is hot, look out. He saw it on the drive for the winning field goal last week in Cincinnati, when the offense went no-huddle and moved 50 yards in 13 plays, using up the final 3:44 of the game. “W...

Harris has played reasonably well and he has made some important catches. But when he is one on one to collect a Romo Bomb Harris MUST time it and LEAP with hands open to catch the pill. Harris & Beasley would be my combo choice if Bryant sits out with his finger.

If Dez Bryant can’t play Sunday, the Cowboys will fill in for him by committee. The committee chairman might be Dwayne Harris, who got more snaps last week than Kevin Ogletree and was the first name coach Jason Garrett mentioned Wednesday when he was asked about it. “We have different guys playi...

Big Kudos to Spencer for mine. Son... I am proud of your effort and grit. Yes this season you have displayed BOTH. And strong leadership behaviour too. Against The Eagles back in November and again against the Balmain Bengals... you played tough hurt and came up big when it mattered most. Now whether the man deserves a fat contract or not depends on an overall assessment of the OLB's play since he has been with the club. I feel a big victory over Ben Hamberger and the Steelers could be the pinnacle of Spencer's season and career here. Hamberger is ageing and slowing because of all the hits he has endured. If Spencer & Co can get after him on Sunday and belt him regularly then a huge victory will be setting things up for a Grande Finale. Dallas really needs to play off the emotion and anger left from last weekend's trauma.

Cowboys outside linebacker Anthony Spencer is the team's best player on defense, and he will be financially rewarded after the season. The Cowboys were criticized by some for giving Spencer the franchise tag. He is being paid $8.8 million this season. He will cost the team more than $10 million ...

For once I agree 101% with what Crocodile Face GM/Owner said to Ratliff. And ratliff... brother the team does NEED YOU!!! Troops are way down and falling. Dez [lord forbid] may not play. Now sure Crocodile Face has been a poor GM over time for certain. But RIGHT NOW against Ben Hamberger and the Steelers the team NEEDS YOU RATLFF. Strap up the injury and follow Hatcher Ware and Spencer playing CROOK but PLAYING HARD!!!

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed a confrontation with nose tackle Jay Ratliff in the locker room after the Philadelphia game Dec. 2. “Well, you’ve heard it said that what goes on in there stays in there,” he said. “It didn’t.” Speaking on his weekly radio show on KRLD 105.3 FM “The Fan,” Jone...

If the palyers are grieving endlessly about the practice squad player Brown then they should take it out on all upcoming opponenst. Use it as MOTIVATION to do the Bizzo. Take out your anger and misery on Pittsburgh first. The game against the Balmain Bengals was a war of attrition - both teams suffered injuries and had players dinged up. It was a very tough hard fought COURAGEOUS VICTORY. Let that be stated right here. It showed that if there was a motivating Head Coach these guys can WIN REGULARLY even with almost half the defensive starters out and a patchwork OL. Kudos 100% to the players on Sunday against Balmain. But they really need to focus now of Ben Hamberger and Pittsburgh and take the same aggression into that game whoever is on the field.

It was clear Gerald Sensabaugh was in physical discomfort in the second half against Cincinnati. But he made a play that helped the Cowboys defense hang on in the 20-19 victory. He hit Jermaine Gresham in the end zone to prevent the Bengals tight end from possibly bringing in a pass for a touchd...

I ahve one finger I can not straighten. I have a wrist that I cannot flex fully because I suffered a fracture of it when younger. It was plastered immediately after the fracture for about 6 weeks. It still ails me. But life has continued unhindered. Did several degrees and many 3 hour exams with these handicaps plus attained a Black Belt in Shotokan Karate. The point is that finger and hand injuries DO NOT GREATLY hinder you later in life. Period!!!

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Dez Bryant will be the “ultimate decision-maker” on whether he has surgery now on his left index finger or tries to play with it heavily padded. Jones, speaking on his weekly radio show on KRLD 105.3 FM “The Fan,” said if Bryant chooses to wait on the surgery, it c...

A Toe [Lee] and now a flamimg index finger[Dez]. Holy Moly!!! Can Bryant, who is absolutely critical for the offense, play with a hard plastic cast around the injured finger?? I know of many footballers who have played with a cast over a broken arm or hand.

Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant met with a hand specialist Monday afternoon to determine whether he needs season-ending surgery on his index finger. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said no decision has been made as yet on what could be another crushing blow to his team. "He's still getting checked on r...

Look everybody... Both Bryant AND Murray are Flaming Studs!!! Accept this and we can develop a classy team around these types of young stallions. Murray has done this before e.g Miami Holiday game when he greatly helped the Field Goal Kicker by late 4th quarter strong runs for first downs. The problem over time has been the INEPT PLAY CALLING POOR COACHING AND A WEAK POROUS OL. If these issues are ever dealt with satisfactorily then this is a class football team. Period!!!

The numbers don’t look like much: DeMarco Murray had 21 carries for 53 yards – a 2.5 yards per carry average – and one touchdown. But Murray had eight touches for 32 yards on the Cowboys’ game-winning, 13-play, 50-yard drive. “He’s a good player,” Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo said of Murray. “…Y...

T-New sucks... I want to BELT him on Sunday. he is weak and a hopeless football player. Further, Balmain will NOT make the playoffs as both Baltimore & Pittsburgh are divisional roadblocks they can not overcome. Newman... You suck & so too does your cousin CrookMan!!!

Terence Newman gets a chance to face his old team for the first time this week when the Bengals host the Cowboys. Newman says it’ll be just another game for him. But he will get a chance to put his skills to work against two players he knows well – quarterback Tony Romo and receiver Dez Bryant. ...

Murray is THE KEY to having any shot at winning the East. The only way to qualify for the tournament is to win the East. The only way this could occur is if the RUNNING GAMES BECOMES A REGULAR FACTOR. that includes hand offs, screens, dunk off passes over the middle and passes tossed to the outside for cartch & run. Romo looks so much more relaxed and concentarted when the RUNNING GAME IS A FACTOR. Its thus a no brainer: Running Game = easier Opportunities for Romo Witten & Dez to attack opponents. This translates to a string of wins.

DeMarco Murray said it did cross his mind that he wouldn’t play again this year because it took him much longer than he expected to get over his sprained foot. “Yeah, there was,” the Cowboys running back said Tuesday on KRLD 105.3 FM “The Fan” of the thought of not coming back. “After four or fi...

The key to win out & make the playoffs is this: RUN THE FOOTBALL CONSISTENTLY & EFFECTIVELY!!! Romo HIMSELF has stated on several occasions, that RUNNINNG the ball EFFECTIVELY makes it easier to make throws and play mistake free football. Byrant Wiiten & Austin can threaten any defense when the running game is effective. This includes some screens pass outs to the side and dunk offs to the RB whether it be to Jones or Murray. If the OL palys better and the running game becomes established then the team could possibly win out and anything is possible. Murray needs to show he is a man and play a little banged up. Murray has the requisite skills and pace but he needs to soldier on even if he's dinged up a bit because he is a vital player for Romo & Bryant to do their thing.

Dez Bryant is doing a better job of being patient when the ball doesn’t come his way early in games, coach Jason Garrett said. “I think in so many ways, Dez has matured, and I think that’s one of the ways,” Garrett said. “I think his preparation throughout the week has gotten better. I think he’...
